Enrolment for language courses in the 2026/27 winter term

Places on the language courses are allocated via the new course placement system (MOSES by MathPlan), which the University of Erfurt is currently trialling with selected courses. 

Students in their third semester or above who have successfully completed a language course at the University of Erfurt can log in here (https://kurve.uni-erfurt.de) using their usual login details (Shibboleth) and specify their course preferences from 1 October 2026 to 4 October 2026. Thereafter, course places will be allocated by 6 October 2026 at the latest, taking into account all priorities submitted – i.e. fairly and regardless of when you submitted your preferences – and the results will be published directly in MOSES. 

Should there still be any remaining places, you will have another opportunity to submit your preferences during the second phase, from 7 October 2026 to 8 October 2026. The results of this second allocation will be published by 11 October 2026 at the latest. 

Students in their first semester or above with no prior knowledge of the language, as well as all students who have prior knowledge of the language but have not yet taken a placement test, may submit their course preferences from 7 October 2026 to 810 October 2026 to submit their course preferences. The results will be published by 11 October 2026 at the latest. 

Students with prior language knowledge must sit a placement test. The placement tests will take place from 6 October 2026 to 8 October 2026. Dates and further information on the placement test can be found here. 

Please do not contact lecturers regarding remaining places on courses during the registration periods. 

Please note that course allocation is not on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Instead, places are allocated on the basis of the preferences stated at the time of registration, with the aim of finding the best possible overall solution for all students, whilst taking into account any potential timetable conflicts. It is therefore not guaranteed that you will be allocated your first or second choice. This applies in particular to very popular courses. Furthermore, almost all language courses have a maximum of 20 participants, which further limits availability.
